Cannon Street is a road in the south of the City of London. It runs roughly parallel with the river, and about 500 metres north of it. It starts at St Paul's Cathedral, and goes east, meeting Victoria Street near Mansion House underground station, passing Cannon Street station, and finally meeting King William Street and Gracechurch near Monument tube station. In the late 19th century Cannon Street was occupied by large wholesale warehouses, especially of cotton goods and other fabrics. [1]
